R-C-M-P in Prince George say two recent suspicious death investigations are now being treated as homicides.
The Mounties say in the first incident, a woman was found dead in a Prince George home on July 17.
They say a day later, a 22-year-old woman was found dead in what police say was a targeted event.
No further information was given and police are asking for anyone with information on either case to contact them
The man was shot by Edmonton police last Friday after a 35-year-old woman and her 11-year-old child were stabbed outside Crawford Plains School in the southeastern part of the city.
Police say the 68-year-old was taking photos on a rock in Glen Canyon Regional Park when she slipped and fell into a creek. A friend who was with her called police.
Housing Minister Ravi Kahlon says the government will continue to provide housing to people who need it most, but for now has halted new funding to Atira and will launch another audit.
The head of a local non-profit organization that helps women and kids in the city says this will make a small dent as more than 180 women were on the wait-list for safe homes at the end of 2022. Michelle Puffer, with SARA for women, says this means that 12 women and their children will find a safe haven and can begin working on a new future.
The ministry says 99.9 per cent of the nearly 15,000 patients whose scheduled surgeries were postponed in the first wave of the pandemic in 2020 have had procedures if they still wanted them.
The B.C. Conservation Officer Service says on Twitter that the attack happened Wednesday after 8 p.m. at Lions Park near the town centre. The service says the public should not feed dangerous wildlife under any circumstances, and violators will incur "enforcement action as warranted."
